Edge Tech Announces iPod Dock/Card Reader

New combo device, shipping now, combines features of a typical iPod dock with that of a multi-format card reader.

Edge Tech is out with a new combo memory card reader and iPod dock known as the Edge Dock & Multi Flash Card Reader for iPod. Priced at $49.99, this device is shipping starting today.   This combo card reader and dock product will allow users to access various formats of flash cards including xD, SD, MMC, Memory Stick, Compact Flash and Microdrive. It utilizes USB 2.0 for high-speed file transfers, can play music off of the iPod via external speakers, displays photos on monitors via S-Video output and syncs the digital audio player to any computer.   The Edge Dock & Multi Flash Card Reader for iPod is made for the nano, mini, Photo and original iPod designs. It comes in “iPod white”.   "Apple iPod sales recently accounted for almost 90% of hard drive-based audio player sales in the U.S., and over 50% of flash-based player sales," commented Kandi Sigona, VP Strategy and Development at EDGE Tech. "With more consumers using iPods and other digital devices such as cameras and mobile phones which accept flash memory cards, EDGE saw an opportunity to combine two products into one new, unique design.”
